Nestled in the misty valleys of 'God’s Own Country', Wayanad is set high on the Western Ghats. Surrounded by lush greenery and enchanting waterfalls, this destination is believed to be as old as the beginning of the New Age of Civilisation.

Wayanad, literally meaning ‘land of paddy fields’, is a very popular tourist destination that offers visitors an exciting list of places to discover and cuisines to relish. But what’s really intriguing is that this beautiful city, along with its neighbouring regions, follows a distinctive style of cooking that will surely leave you craving for more. So, if you are planning a family vacation to Kerala, ensure you visit Wayanad and try some of these excellent dishes of Wayanad, which we believe will turn your journey into a flavoursome one:
